The Droid Razr Maxx has won plenty of praise for its endurance, and up until now no other manufacturer has really opted to challenge Motorola for the mAh crown. If what you see above is the real deal, however, Lenovo may be preparing to offer up a capable competitor.

This is the Lenovo P770, and as you can see it’s sporting a 3500mAh battery — 200mAh more than the Razr Maxx. Obviously there’s more to battery life than the capacity of the battery itself, but it’s pretty clear that Lenovo is gunning for two days of use on a single charge. And if that’s still not enough juice to satisfy your smartphone demands, there’s talk of a 4160mAh battery being made available, too.

It also looks as though Lenovo is positioning the P770 as a fairly entry-level device. It’s big, but not supersized with its 4.5-inch qHD display, and its 1.2GHz dual core MediaTek processor will handle most tasks without missing a beat — even if it won’t compete with quad-core chips in terms of sheer muscle.

Like the Razr Maxx, the P770 has an 8MP rear-facing camera, and it’s shipping with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Lenovo’s custom skin will most likely take the place of Google’s default, and the company’s SmartSound dual-speaker tech will let users enjoy “crystal clear” speakerphone calls or annoy nearby public transit passengers with their favorite audio tracks.

Pricing hasn’t been announced yet, but you can currently pick up the Lenovo A800 (which has the same processor and a similar display) for about $220 on Pandawill. Toss in a few extra bucks for qHD resolution and the massive battery upgrade, and you’re probably looking at a price tag of about $300 for the P770 when it lands on store shelves. Not a bad deal at all if you prioritize talk time over processing power.
